On November 4th and 5th, Baltimore's Full Circle Dance Company will present Unshamed: Baring Our Secrets and Our Souls. The performance will challenge the audience to bring discussion of domestic violence into the light and to envision solutions at both individual and societal levels.

The Mask You Live In follows boys and young men as they struggle to stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity.

Pressured by the media, their peer group, and even the adults in their lives, our protagonists confront messages encouraging them to disconnect from their emotions, devalue authentic friendships, objectify and degrade women, and resolve conflicts through violence. These gender stereotypes interconnect with race, class, and circumstance, creating a maze of identity issues boys and young men must navigate to become “real” men.
